    Spitting up during sleep can be dangerous if the spit up is inhaled. I would suggest you talk to your paed ASAP about reflux. Physically, this is what helped us: having the kid feed upright, frequent burps, keeping her upright for up to 30 minutes after feeds - DS ended up sleeping a lot on top of me in the initial months. Have your child sleep as much as you can and as she can, on her *left* side. The upper opening of the stomach is on a higher plane when the child is sleeping on the left and it reduces the amount of food refluxed.

    My friend's baby was always spitting up and to me it seemed excessive compared to other babies. We took her over to see the paed and it turned out it was due to overfeeding by a devoted mom. I suggest you check with your paed...it might be as simple as this. Also try some of the positional tips mentioned by other posters.
